Weird team, weird culture. That kind of shit is definitely not how it is on all tech teams, including the one I'm on.
1. Some insensitive asshole was lacking respect or maturity or professionalism in general. 2. Women, who are generally more conscientious than men, naturally react more strongly to said assholes.
I think if you could magically make every employee not act like an asshole, reports of sexism would drop by 99%.
And sure. Yes. That's not untrue. But read the article. She's particularly singled out for special treatment.
Redefining the words or claiming it's actually women being "more sensitive" is just a word game to try making excuses. To do anything but agree, "This is sexist behavior."
Where did you read this? In the entire article she didn't even describe anyone speaking to her or about her except when they apologized, how can this be seen as singling her out?
